The dog will be at CBP on Wednesday to throw out the first pitch:

What a run that Shane Gillis has been on. One of the best Netflix specials of the year, hosting SNL after being fired from there five years earlier, and he’s got his Tires series debut coming out Thursday. But those all have to pale in comparison to throwing out the first pitch before a Phillies game, right? Sure it’s cool to sell out arenas and make millions of dollars and buy your parents a house, but you get to throw out the first pitch on the same field you watched Brad Lidge close it out for the Phils in 2008. Your dad’s buddies getting shitfaced in some Chambersburg VFW get to watch Phil’s kid on the TV with Bryce Harper. That’s amazing. No matter what I do in life, throwing out the first pitch before a Phillies game will outrank it all. Too bad I’ll never get to experience that feeling because of politics. The Suits have a giant stick up their ass over there. Something about not being particularly happy I said they hate charity or something? What, we’re not allowed to joke around anymore? Sorry I’m unapologetically Philly.
Shout out to the Phillies, we’re building a pretty good A-List stable of actors, musicians, and comedians over the last couple of years:
